Muhammad Ali, “The Greatest,” is finally getting his wish:

Ali once said, “I should be a postage stamp, because that’s the only way I’ll ever get licked.”

(Of course, today’s stamps are self-adhesive, so Ali gets his stamp, but still won’t get licked.)

Ali’s wife Lonnie and broadcaster Bob Costas will host a “first-day-of-issue event” on January 15, 2026, ahead of the tenth anniversary of Ali’s death. I don’t usually get excited about postage stamps, but I’ve preordered these (and the associated Field Notes notebook).
